Quick note: I misspoke in the episode and said Abraham took home $11 million, he actually took home closer to $17 million after choosing the lump sum. Either way… we’re still talking about millions. Just wanted to correct that here. 🖤Abraham Shakespeare went from earning minimum wage to becoming a multi-millionaire overnight after winning the Florida lottery. But what should have been a life-changing moment quickly turned into something far more complicated.As the money came in, so did the pressure. Requests. Lawsuits. People showing up, asking for more. And over time, Abraham began to withdraw from the world around him.By 2009, those closest to him realized something wasn’t right. Months had passed without anyone hearing from him. And when police finally stepped in, what they uncovered would reveal a calculated pattern of manipulation, financial control, and ultimately, murder.In this episode, we walk through the life of Abraham Shakespeare, the investigation that followed his disappearance, and how one woman positioned herself at the center of it all.🎧 Macabre Mondays is a true crime and paranormal podcast hosted by Alejandra and her husband Tom.

Camp Hero was a real Cold War military base on the cliffs of Montauk, New York.. but once you start digging into the story behind it, things get a lot stranger.In Part 2 of the Montauk Project: Secret Government Experiments at Camp Hero, we go into the theories that turned this abandoned radar station into one of the most famous conspiracy stories in America.We talk about the claims at Montauk Project, including alleged experiments involving consciousness, psychic abilities, and time travel. We also explore the story of the Montauk Boys and one of the strangest military legends ever told.. the Philadelphia Experiment. A World War II story claiming the U.S. Navy attempted to make a warship invisible… and may have accidentally opened the door to something far more dangerous.The infamous Montauk Monster, the mysterious creature that washed ashore in 2008 and quickly became linked to the Montauk Project and nearby Plum Island, adding fuel to the idea that something unusual may have been happening in this area for decades.From alleged time portals and real government experiments to modern pop culture and the inspiration behind Stranger Things, Part 2 continues the conversation about the Montauk story that evolved from rumor into a full-blown modern legend.Because once the documented history ends… the mystery of Montauk really beginsAnd It gets.. stranger.-🎧 Macabre Mondays is a true crime and paranormal podcast hosted by Alejandra and her husband Tom.

At the very edge of Long Island sits Camp Hero, a decommissioned Cold War military base overlooking the Atlantic Ocean. Officially, it was built during World War II to defend the coastline and later became a radar station designed to detect incoming Soviet aircraft.But over time, the base became connected to one of the most disturbing conspiracy stories in American history: The Montauk Project.According to those who claim to know the truth, Camp Hero wasn’t just a radar base. It was allegedly the site of secret government experiments involving mind control, psychological manipulation, and even time travel.In this two-part episode, we talk documented history to conspiracy lore. We explore the real Cold War programs that shaped public fear, including MKUltra, Project ARTICHOKE, and Project Stargate, and examine how those confirmed experiments blurred the line between fact and fiction.From radar towers and sealed underground tunnels to psychic research and the infamous Philadelphia Experiment, the story of Montauk forces us to ask an uncomfortable question:How much of this is conspiracy… and how much is history we still don’t fully understand?——🎧 Macabre Mondays is a true crime and paranormal podcast hosted by Alejandra and her husband Tom.

We're back! For Chapter 2 of Macabre Mondays.In this episode of Macabre Mondays, we walk through the history of the Winchester Mystery House, tracing how tragedy, spiritual belief, and public fascination turned a private woman into a permanent ghost story.The Winchester Mystery House is famous for what it doesn’t make sense of, staircases that end at the ceiling, doors that open into walls, windows built into floors, and a layout so confusing it feels intentional. For nearly 40 years, the house was under constant construction.At the center of it all was Sarah Winchester, a grieving widow who inherited a massive fortune connected to the Winchester rifle.

Mount Everest is the highest place on Earth, and one of the most unforgiving.Every year, hundreds of climbers spend tens of thousands of dollars attempting to reach the summit. But above 26,000 feet, in a place known as the Death Zone, the human body can no longer survive. Oxygen disappears. Judgment fades. And for many, the mountain becomes their final resting place.In this episode of Macabre Mondays, we explore the real horror of Mount Everest: the frozen bodies that remain along the climbing route, how they become landmarks, and the unsettling normalization of walking past the dead. We tell the stories of Green Boots, Sleeping Beauty, and others who never made it back down, and examine the ethical weight of survival when rescue is often impossible.We also dive into the eerie experiences reported by climbers: voices in storms, phantom companions, and the mysterious Third Man phenomenon. Are these moments the result of extreme altitude, or is Everest a place that holds onto those it claims?This is not a story about conquering a mountain. It’s about what Everest takes and what it keeps.🎧 Macabre Mondays is a true crime and paranormal podcast hosted by Alejandra and her husband Tom.

In Chapter 9: Returns, the house begins to pull her deeper. A clear marble rolls from beneath the red door, reflecting both halls overlapped — as if time itself has started to fold. Through the crack, a staircase appears, curving down into the dark. The voices whisper that he keeps the keys and that they’re safer when he does.

In Chapter 8: The Other Hall, the house draws its boundary. Through the widening seam, the cataloger sees the mirrored corridor come alive — its air colder, its laughter smaller, its promises softer. When a child’s hand reaches from the blue hall to touch hers, she hesitates, remembering the rule that’s kept her alive so far: Keep to your side.But when a deeper voice arrives — one that doesn’t belong to a child at all — the house reminds her that every invitation comes with a cost.Tune in each night for the next chapter of 13 Nights of Macabre, written by E.

In Chapter 7: Angle of View, the hall begins to move. No matter where she stands, the red door shifts back to the center of her vision, the house adjusting her like a subject in a frame. As she places the three marbles across the threshold, they roll toward the mirrored hall, aligning themselves as if called home. Through the blue reflection, her own voice warns her not to let the house “line her up.”The children are waiting for hush hour to begin.Tune in each night for the next chapter of 13 Nights of Macabre, written by E.

In Chapter 6: Static, the count begins. Children’s voices whisper numbers through the baby monitor, stopping at thirteen as the house shifts its focus. A new marble appears — dark as ink, threaded with silver — showing what moves beneath the floorboards. Through the keyhole, a mirrored version of the hallway comes to life, and her own reflection starts moving before she does.Every frame fogs with a warning: Keep to your side.Tune in each night for the next chapter of 13 Nights of Macabre, written by E.

In Chapter 5: Borrowed Names, the house speaks through lullabies and photographs. The cataloger discovers a baby monitor whispering the tenth rule — Return what you borrow. When she lifts the hallway runner, the past returns a photo that shouldn’t exist: her own childhood kitchen, her own mother’s hand. A text from an unknown number invites her deeper into the house, and through the red door’s reflection, she sees herself already waiting.The house doesn’t just borrow names.

📍 Location: Mexico City, MX → Guatemala → Central America → Colombia → Worldwide🧵 What We Cover in This Episode: Her Aztec origins in the goddess Cihuacóatl and the omens recorded in the Florentine Codex. The classic tale of María, the mother who drowned her children and wanders in sorrow. How her story spread through Mexico, Guatemala, Central America, and Colombia. The famous Xochimilco performance that brings her legend to life on the canals of Mexico City. Viral modern-day sightings shared on TikTok and social media. The folk song “La Llorona”, from Chavela Vargas to Pixar’s Coco. Her role in films from Mexico’s first horror movie in 1933 to Hollywood’s The Curse of La Llorona (2019). The metaphors she carries: grief, colonial trauma, hidden dangers, and silenced women. Her haunting parallels with La Malinche, the controversial figure remembered as both traitor and mother of Mexico.
